Richmond

The rest of college lacrosse is finally feeling the same confidence Richmond has in itself.

The Fighting Irish raced out to an 8-0 lead and let their defense take care of the rest in a 12-8 victory over the Spiders at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium.

Fresh off their first No. 1 national ranking, the Spiders face their stiffest test to date Saturday — a showdown with No. 1 Notre Dame at Lacrosse Day in Chicago.

The Richmond Spiders are No. 1 in the country.

Richmond beat rival Virginia for the third time since 2022 and has opened the season 2-0.

We look back at the seasons of Duke, North Carolina, Army, Notre Dame, Richmond and Georgetown.

Through 17 games, Richmond opponents have taken only 484 shots and scored 134 goals.

A nostalgic matchup of college lacrosse superpowers, a surging three-peat threat and a Memorial Day mainstay — everything you need to know about this weekend's games.

It was long a May truism: No lead is safe against Syracuse. Perhaps it’s time to dust off that old pearl of wisdom.

Richmond lost a play-in game in 2014, its first season, and dropped four first-round games since then.
